Large linear magnetoresistance and magnetothermopower in layered SrZnSb2
Abstract
We report the large linear magnetoresistance ( 300\% in 9 T field at 2 K) and magnetothermopower in layered SrZnSb2 crystal with quasi-two-dimensional Sb layers. A crossover from the semiclassical parabolic field dependent magnetoresistance to linear field dependent magnetoresistance with increasing magnetic field is observed. The magnetoresistance behavior can be described very well by combining the semiclassical cyclotron contribution and the quantum limit magnetoresistance. Magnetic field also enhances the thermopower. Our results can be well understood by the magnetotransport of Dirac states in the bulk band structure.
